On October 14, 2025, we, the Friends of Park Melin Mynach, were deeply saddened to discover that our equipment storage container had been subjected to an arson attack.

Regrettably, all the contents were destroyed in the fire, resulting in the loss of thousands of pounds worth of equipment, including:

We used these items and more to host free events for the community.

Unfortunately, this is not the first instance of arson in the park in recent months. All the benches funded by our group, as well as play equipment provided by the local council, have also been mindlessly destroyed.

However, with the support of the community, we can raise the necessary funds to rebuild.

We aim to raise enough funds to construct a secure compound for a new equipment container (if insurance does not cover this), replace the lost contents, and, if possible, install cameras in the park to help us uphold our commitments to the community.

The Friends of Park Melin Mynach pledge to:

"We’ve taken some blows, but our roots here run deep. We’re still standing, stronger together. Park Melin Mynach will always rise again."

Thank you for standing with us!
